Because of the shape of the water droplet, there was almost no resistance when it traveled in the water. In the blink of an eye, it traveled more than ten meters. Jiang Chen looked at the on the speed gauge.
"Wow, just from the speed alone, it can beat the fastest submarine in the world." Jiang Chen looked at the bottom of the sea as he exclaimed.
He remembered that the fastest submarine in the world was the Russian P-class nuclear cruise missile submarine with a maximum speed of 44.7 knots. And the speed of the Droplet reached a terrifying 75 knots.
He just didn't know how the superconducting ferrofluid submarine, which was still in development, compared to the "mount" he was riding.
The bottom of the sea was rugged, and the dark green algae danced like a forest. Colorful fish swam freely in the sea, jellyfish and squid danced with the accompaniment of bubbles. All of this turned into shadows on the wall of the water droplet.
Other than that, Jiang Chen also saw the legendary shark.
When the "water droplet" passed by it, the big guy ignored the "water droplet" as if it didn't see it. It turned around and disappeared from Jiang Chen's sight.
As the depth gradually increased, the light from the surface of the sea became dimmer, and the claustrophobic feeling became more and more obvious. Jiang Chen wasn't sure if he had deep-sea phobia, but he still turned off the wide-angle camera and only left the front, left, right, and rear windows on the screen in front of him.
"Droplet, where are we now?"
"100 nautical miles from the target position."
100 nautical miles, so there was still about an hour left?
Seeing that there was still some time left, Jiang Chen got up and walked into the living cabin.
The layout of the living cabin was compact. There were two nylon beds on the left and right sides. If the bed was lifted, the table and closet could be pulled out. Jiang Chen looked at the internal structure of the submarine with interest. He ordered the submarine to wake him up when it arrived at the location, then he crawled into the sleeping bag like bed and took a short nap.
An hour later, under the gentle sound of the bell, Jiang Chen opened his eyes.
After he got out of bed, he returned to the cockpit. He looked at the control panel and his eyes widened in shock.
Is this 7500 meters under the sea?
The bottomless darkness, the legendary forbidden zone for life.
In the entire area, the only thing visible was the light beam that shot from the front of the water droplet to the bottom of the sea. The black and shiny rocks reflected the light of the searchlight. The disturbed bottom-dwelling creatures swam their cilia and slowly fled into the surrounding darkness.
Other than the strangely shaped seabed creatures, the cracks in the seabed crust spurted hot bubbles from time to time. The dark red flames were like a volcano, brewing terrifying energy.
At this time, a ten-meter long, flat fish slowly approached the side of the water droplet. There were no eyes on the saucer-shaped head, and its long, spike-shaped teeth looked frightening. The fish looked at the water droplet curiously, and looked at the water droplet. But very quickly, it swam two meters away as if it had been electrocuted and escaped without looking back.
Jiang Jiang didn't want to play anymore. of Droplet of of of of of water of. of. of of water. of of. of Chen of of of of. of. of Sea of water of of of of.
Based on the distribution of mineral resources on the map, Jiang Chen manually controlled the water droplet to move above the molybdenum rich manganese nodule.
"Throw out the mining module." After confirming the target position, Jiang Chen ordered.
"Roger, Mr. Captain," the artificial intelligence responded politely.
Soon, the cylinder hanging at the bottom of the water droplet separated from the water droplet. A series of long and narrow bubbles were discharged from the back of the cylinder, pushing the fish-like cylinder slowly toward the target rock.
100 meters.
50 meters.
10 meters.
The searchlight locked onto the cylinder tightly as Jiang Chen stared at the scene without blinking.
The dark black rock was embedded in the gray mudstone, forming a landscape like a cobblestone road. The cylinder slowly stopped above the black rock stratum, and the engine behind it slowly turned off.
Jiang Chen scanned the map on the screen. The green dot that marked the position of the submarine had already coincided with the red dot in the center of the mining site.
Jiang Chen paused, then ordered in a deep voice, "Mining module, deploy!"
"Roger."
A series of bubbles burst out from the bottom of the cylinder, and suddenly a nail with a graphene cable pierced into the bottom of the sea. The cable was taut and slowly pulled the cylinder to the ground, stopping about three meters away from the bottom of the sea.
The cylinder slowly unfolded, and the doors on both sides slowly expanded outward, releasing two missile-like objects. The missiles were about five meters long and one meter in diameter. The tail was connected to the cylinder by a graphene pipe.
After the two missiles separated from the cylinder, the warheads immediately sank, and the tail ejected a stream of water vapor, pushing the missiles to the bottom of the sea.
The warheads sank deep into the rock mass.
Then, a miraculous scene happened!
The tail of the warheads exploded, and at the same time, a circular cover with a radius of ten meters opened like an umbrella. The cover slowly descended and hooked onto the flat rock mass at the bottom of the sea.
From afar, it looked like a large cylinder connected by a graphene pipe to two inverted bowls at the bottom of the sea.
"The mining module has been deployed. Please deploy the transportation module."
The courteous electronic voice sounded again and pulled Jiang Chen back from the shock of technology.
The so-called transportation module was actually four graphene rails and an elliptical elevator. Because these things were large, Jiang Chen didn't carry them in the submarine. After all, with the storage dimension, it was easy to bring objects to the bottom of the sea.
After dropping the anchor, Jiang Chen immediately returned to the apocalypse and came to the backyard of the mansion. At the moment, his Dolphin-10 and a large number of graphene rails from the Sixth Street factory were stored there.
In a deep sea environment of more than 7,000 meters, it was difficult for ordinary materials to withstand the water pressure, so high-strength graphene materials came in handy.
After throwing these materials into the storage dimension, Jiang Chen returned to the Droplet again.
With his hand on the hatch, his consciousness sank into the storage dimension. Soon, the dozens of graphene rails were thrown out of the cabin.
Then, Jiang Chen repeated the process several times between the modern world and the apocalypse and threw all the building materials outside the Droplet.
He ordered the Droplet to weigh the anchor, then ordered the intelligent system to start construction. The graphene rails and fixed buoys were connected above the mining module according to the drawings in the memory.
The rest of the work didn't need him to do it himself. Looking at the 5-hour construction time, Jiang Chen yawned and returned to the life cabin.
All the operations could be done by the artificial intelligence.
As the captain, he only needed to go back to the life cabin to sleep, wait for the construction to be completed, and then return.
